Milwaukee music staple Kevin Sucher overseeing new record label

Kevin Sucher, a name familiar to longtime followers of the Milwaukee music scene, is getting into the record label business. He's been tapped as president and CEO of Truth Records. He will also be overseeing the start-up's music publishing and artist management departments.

Sucher has been involved in a number of musical endeavors in Milwaukee, including playing in late bands Sister Moon and Gerard with Eric Benet. Benet recorded his 2008 album "Love and Life" at Sucher's Laboratory Recording Studio downtown; the album went on to be nominated for two Grammys. Sucher also served as Benet's tour manager in 2009 and has worked with popular artists like Train, Robbie Williams and Hall & Oates, among others.

Truth launched late last year and includes "American Idol" season 11 finalist DeAndre Brackensick as a client.
